It lets you toggle thru all your virtual pedals and turn them off and on in real time just like a physical pedal board . It has tons of really usable effects and the guitarlab software lets you swap out and add even more great effects like modulation and even overdrives .....it's really cool ! . While obviously not nearly as good as the different effects it purports to emulate , it does give reasonable facsimiles of fishman , LR Baggs eqs and loads of other famous kinds of compressions and chorus and reverbs and overdrives and also tons of emulations of famous guitar body sounds d18 . j45 ovations etc..... it's pretty dang good for the price . .....it's a swiss army knife that fits into a gig bag ......id love to hear about other peoples rigs that they use for live acoustic work .

The core of my acoustic board is a Zoom MS-50G, the ultimate swiss army knife of effects IMHO. I own two but I'm about to buy an updated version, the 50G+.
Besides saving up to 50 of my own patches (chains of up to 6 effects, depending on DSP used by the fx) I can assign a letter ID to the patches. So for example A might be #23 - acoustic guitar with a nice spring reverb, B might be #2 same acoustic settings (EQ etc) plus a slight chorusing effect via the Detune effect which I love, C might be A plus immersive delay & reverb etc. Has pretty much any effect out there along with OD/distortions and many amp models, all in a single pedal format. It's 2nd to last in the chain, just before my Digitech JamMan XT Solo looper.
1st in chain is a delay/boost, next is a EHX Bass Soul Food for slight overdrive - it allows a mix between clean & OD. Next is a TC Helicon Harmony Singer which is use very sparingly, always set to a 3rd interval above and with the harmony at about 50% volume of my voice. Has good reverb which is easily switchable, so when I'm gigging I can go direct into my powered speakers with no mixer.
